The SPAIS Gender Research Centre offers a particularly conducive home for critical gender scholarship:

• We have a long-standing tradition of gender research, informed by insights from our three ‘sister’ disciplines of International Relations, Politics and Sociology;
• Scholars will benefit from the wider School inter-disciplinary research environment;
• Other Research Centres in the School, the Global Insecurities Centre and the Centre for the Study of Ethnicity and Citizenship, also house gender research;
• Gender is a University Research theme, and there are other Gender Centres within the Faculty, e.g., Gender and Contemporary Social Change (FSS&L; GSoE; human geography), the Gender Interdisciplinary Group (GIG), the Gender and Violence group.
